文质彬彬·每日好词语｜精骛八极，心游万仞

整理/刘昶荣 制图/张玉佳

　　精神奔驰于八方极远之地，心灵飞翔至万仞极高之境。这是西晋文士陆机在《文赋》中对创作心理的一种形象化描述，指作家在进行艺术构思、艺术创作时，思想纵横驰骋而不受时空的限制，就像骏马驰骋于天地四方，又像心灵畅游于万仞天空。

　　Roaming Remote Realms and Soaring to Great Heights

　　This term means that when writing, a writer should allow his mind to roam freely across the vast universe. It was first put forward by Western Jin scholar Lu Ji in his work "The Art of Writing" when describing the thought process governing artistic creation. Lu Ji believes that in conceiving and creating a work of art, an artist should transcend both time and space, like a steed racing to all quarters of the universe or a soul soaring across the skies.

　　赋家之心，苞括宇宙，总览人物，斯乃得之于内，不可得而传。（葛洪《西京杂记》卷二）（一个优秀的辞赋作家，其视野可以囊括天地宇宙，可以纵观古今、洞察世事，这些都是要靠自身的修炼得来，不是靠别人的传授能简单得到的。）

　　A great writer can embrace all things in the world and view all historical figures in perspective. This is attributable to his self-cultivation, something he cannot simply pass on to others. (Ge Hong: Collection of Miscellaneous Stories in the Western Capital)
